Parents Says School Closures Are Impacting 2nd Level Students More Than Primary Pupils.

Parents say school closures are impacting secondary school students more than primary school children.

Figures from the CSO show that almost half of respondents with a child in fifth or sixth year say school closures has had a "major negative impact" on their learning.

14 percent of parents with children attending primary school felt the same.

One in three parents of teenagers said remote learning was having a negative impact on their child’s social development while just over a fifth of parents of younger children said the same.
